Has Anyone Experienced A Wearing Off Effect Following Success With Medications?
A MySpondylitisTeam Member asked a question 💭

I was diagnosed with 'non radiographic' AS (although it's questionable about the NR b/c my doctor saw inflammation on the MRI, brought it to the attention of the radiologist who then agreed) and started with taking Piroxicam at night. Initially and for the first time in my life I woke up in the morning without pain. I then was prescribed Cimzea (the medication for NR AS). It's been close to a year and recently, I started having the same pain in the morning where it's difficult to straighten up… read more

A MySpondylitisTeam Member asked a question 💭

I am losing weight and I am not trying. I have gone from 156 in Feb 2023 to 138 yesterday. Does Cimzia make a person lose weight. I am on Cimzia for my Crohn's Disease and Ankylosing Spondylitis.

Your Dr. is correct about the 3 months. I did not have any side effects when I was on this medication. My body eventually built up a tolerance and I had to be switched to another medication.

Has Remicade Helped Anyone?
A MySpondylitisTeam Member asked a question 💭

Hey Guys
I am currently on Cimzia right now. My options are very limited due to me still nursing my 10 month old little girl. My rheumy said that Remicade is another option that has been seen to be safe while nursing. Every time I do one of my Cimzia shots they seem to last less time and I am really only getting 50% relief. I was wondering how anyone has done while on Remicade? This would be my last try on a TNF inhibitor because if it doesn't give the relief needed then my Dr. would like to… read more
